"To put it in the terms of St. Thomas Aquinas: An unjust law is a
human law that is not rooted in eternal law and natural law. Any
law that uplifts human personality is just. Any law that
degrades human personality is unjust. All segregation statutes
are unjust because segregation distorts the soul and damages
the personality. It gives the segregator a false sense of
superiority and the segregated a false sense of inferiority....
Paul Tillich has said that sin is separation. Is not segregation an
existential expression of man's tragic separation, his awful
estrangement, his terrible sinfulness? Thus it is that I can urge
men to obey the 1954 decision of the Supreme Court, for it is
morally right, and I can urge them to disobey segregation
ordinances, for they are morally wrong"
The Central Ideas are listed below :
Just because something is legal does not mean it is acceptable to do.
A change in leadership is no guarantee of a change in policy.
Society should be more upset about the unjust conditions people are protesting than they are about the protests themselves.
